Not to push meds or anything, but I've had really good results with a small dose of Lexapro (plus, it has zero side effects for me). Apart from that, just feeling confident and happy with myself usual...

Its funny, currently I'm studying abroad and I introduce myself with a different pronouncing. Since I do that I never stuttered at all. When they ask for my name I'm usually scared at first but I alwa...

At my University; apparently, long ago, there was once a professor that was so shy that everyday she stood at the back of the classroom and made everyone face the front & never turn around If sh...

How many of those did you done? I had similar experiences, at fist. Bit like after the third one it was great. I got used to the situation and tried not to take it so seriously. It depends though on ...
